Over 30 years of retirement, Dinella would collect as much as $1.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Dinella received $28,228 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Dinella will have already received $87,250 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
